I always enjoy baking this bread because I'm not restricted to the herbs in the recipe. I have used Oregano, Sage as well as parsley Rosemary and thyme and each time, it never fails. So easy to put together. Thank you.

I followed the instructions exactly (they were very easy to follow, by the way), but it came out very hard and not soft at all, like focaccia should. The taste was good, but the consistency was not. It seemed stale, even though I had just baked it. It had more of a biscuit consistency, rather than bread. I am thinking I didn't let it rise long enough? Any ideas on what may have happened here and what I can do differently next time?

Regarding your question about freezi...Hi Anonymous,<br />Regarding your question about freezing this focaccia, I guess my first instinct is to say yes, with the caveat that I remember that this focaccia became stale fairly quickly (so, ideally, it's best eaten within a few hours of baking). Because of that, I figure if you are going to freeze it, do so ASAP after it's cooled. Then immediately wrap it really, really well (Saran wrap snugly a couple of times, then foil over that, etc.), and freeze it solid until it's ready to be consumed. If your son warmed it up in a low oven (like maybe 300 degrees) for 10-15 minutes, I think it might be just fine and it might even taste like it came right out of the oven for the first time. Anyway, that's what I'd try if I needed to freeze and mail this bread. Hope that works for you. Thanks very much for asking my advice! <br />Warmly,<br />Jane :)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530631702237541328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-89558282466385601852012-03-25T21:47:13.933-04:002012-03-25T21:47:13.933-04:00I'd like to make this and send it to my son in...I'd like to make this and send it to my son in NY.

This is definitely a keeper! The apartment smells wonderful :) (I only had fresh rosemary on hand-- a college student can only keep so many fresh herbs and ingredients in the apartment without them going bad :( I also halved the recipe and put it in a 9" pie pan.) It's baking right now! :)Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04692916976711071079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-15170345834007034952010-01-07T15:11:04.413-05:002010-01-07T15:11:04.413-05:00A beautiful focaccia!

My brother, who coincidentally has the same name, is so enamored of our mother's cooking that at family events he frequently takes a photo of her bringing her latest creation from the kitchen. I mean, <i>we are all grown up</i> (past grown up, nearly old...) and he's still doing this. She loves it - it's great to feel appreciated for cooking for someone you love!Sara Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09998215325793795938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-78786489935949123192010-01-05T01:43:23.997-05:002010-01-05T01:43:23.997-05:00This looks so incredibly simple, but so impressive...This looks so incredibly simple, but so impressive.
